* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the OnlySaneMan. The entire point of the episode he appeared in was to explore what would happen if a real-life normal person had to deal with [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Homer Simpson.]] To put it simply? [[SanitySlippage Not well.]] The creators explain it in detail [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer%27s_Enemy here.]]

** He contrasts Homer in every way. Homer is fat, slovenly and incompetent, while Grimes is skinny, tidy and competent at his job. Homer is a {{ditz}} who is BornLucky and has a loving family, while Grimes is the OnlySaneMan who was BornUnlucky and had no known family.

* HateSink: Just look at the tropes that describe her. In addition, she calls Bart "yellow trash," clearly a play on "white trash," a pretty vile classist insult.

Trope unlaunched and likely to have a name change. Removing.


* BurnoutBabe: She wears a military jacket at all times despite her laid-back appearance (though she does dress more feminine when she's going on a date), has a biting wit. Laura wouldn't think twice about giving a kid a hertz donut and spitting in his hand, but ultimately she's a NiceGirl who just happens to have a biting sense of humor. To Bart's dismay, she's into Jimbo Jones and doesn't feel anything for him, [[spoiler: but at the very least Bart was able to turn her off Jimbo]].

* {{Determinator}}: He majored in nuclear physics despite his complete lack of formal education, and minored in determination.

to:

* {{Determinator}}: He majored in nuclear physics despite his complete lack of formal education, and minored in determination. It's ultimately [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], as his utter refusal to just ''give up'' on convincing others of Homer's ineptitude leads to his mental health nose-diving.
* DramaticIrony: His hatred for Homer partially stems from his belief that Homer got awarded everything while never struggling in life like he did. Anyone who's watched the show up until that point would be able to inform him that Homer struggles through life ''constantly'', with even his current position being a result of him sacrificing his dream job to support his family after Maggie was born.

Example does not sufficiently explain how it applies, Misuse of the page/link: these characters are too comical or over-the-top "evil" to be actually hateful


* HateSink: The first example in the series



* HateSink: Cruel, Sadistic and a Tiran,, unlike Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney he is played very seriously.



* HateSink: Picture Bob without any cool quriks or redeeming features and make him pathetic yep that's Cecil.



* HateSink: He is a cruel Tirant who exists solely to make Homer look better by comparison.
